CONTAINER NOZZLE.

Application filed March 29, 1926.

Cans and similar containers having a nozzle with a pouring and filling opening and a.

vent opening to admit and release air in the respective pouring and filling use to some extent, but these openings are closed when the package is sold, being outlined by scored or weakened lines in a metal cap or the like which is permanently sealed, the openings being finally formed by the consumer who punches'out the weakened portion. Such containers cannot be filled and closed without soldering.

The object of the present invention is to provide a can or other similar shipping container with a nozzle having vented filling and pouring openings without soldering, and for use with any form of filling apparatus either hand or machine.

The nozzle of the invention has a transverse partition in the form of a disk permanently seated or soldered in the opening spaced downward from the top by any convenient This disk or partition is provided with a filling opening and a pouring opening, see Fig. 1. Opening is used for filling and as an air vent when pouring out contents. Opening 6 is the pouring outlet.

39 ,Above the disk or partition having the filling and pouring openings is a removable closure in any preferred-form, as a screw cap, patent snap-on cap, an ordinary cork or other stopper or other convenient type of closure. To fill the can the cork or cap is removed and the material being canned is filling opening, the air escaping through the pouring opening, the cork, screw cap or snap-on cap or other removable closure is then applied to prevent the escape of the material and the entrance of air, dirt, terments and the like.

In the accompanying drawings I have illust'ated a container and nozzle embodying the features of my invention.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a top plan of the nozzle and container.

Figure 2 is a side elevation of the same.

Figure 3 is a plan of the disk containing the filling and pouring openings, the closure being removed.

Figures l, 5 and 6 are fragmentary side elevations of the top portion of a container having the nozzle and closure of the invenoperations,

. and 2. The disk, Figure 3,

with the invention provided with perma- Serial No. 98,134.

,tion with caps of three of the various types which may be used in this connection.

Referring to the drawings by numerals, each of which is used to indicate the same or similar parts in the different figures, the container 1, Figure 2,'which may be of any type and material is provided with a nozzle 2 in which is permanently secured a disk 3, which may be either at the upper end of the nozzle, as shown in Figures 2 and 5, or spaced downward from the top of the nozzle as in Figure 6. This disk may be soldered or secured in position in any suitable or convenient manner, being, it preterred, integral with the sheet material of which the container is composed as illustrated in Figure 5, although the disk may be secured by turning over the edges 4 of the top portion of the nozzle as in Figures 1 is, in accordance nently open filling and respectively 5 and 6.

The containers are filled by pouring through the filling opening 5, the air escaping through the opening 6, and are then closed by any suitable type of cap, as aforesaid. In using contents of the container simply remove closure and pour from opening 6 in Figure 3.

In Figure 4. I have shown the nozzle closed by means of a snap-on cap 7. In Figure 5 it is closed by means of a screw cap 8 and in Figure 6 I have shown a tapering nozzle 9 having the disk or partition 3 with the openings 5 and 6 spaced down toward the lower part of the nozzle and secured in any suitable manner, the nozzle being closed by means of a cork or other stopper 10. It will be noted that the closures referred to are normally air tight and it is intended to distinguish the closure specified in this application from the rotary valve type of closure of the Peuss United States Patent No. 626,034 and Lieb United States Patent N 0. 1,024,212, an important feature of the invention being that liquid and dry products can be packed air tight by means of this container without the use of solder, and at the same time the pouring, filling and vent openings retained. The filling and pouring openings 5 and 6 may be of any suitable shape or size. They are preferably near opposite sides of the nozzle and the former are preferably round and the latter triangular, as shown, and the pouring apertures,

Some of the advantages are the ability to completely and accurately control and conserve the flow of contents when pouring, the

ability to fill by hand or machine, the possip opening atthe other side,

bility of using any kind of cap, cork or stopper, and the ready adaptability of the struc ture to any and" all types of containers, the perfect venting of the air space in the can or other of the contents through the pouring aperture Without inconvenience or loss of time or material and the ability to quickly and securely reseal the package.

Iha-ve thus described specifically and in det-ail'a can or container embodying the features of my invention in the preferred form container causing-a uniform flow able air tight in order that the nature and operation of the same may be clearly understood, however, the specific terms herein are used descriptively rather than in a limiting sense, the scope of the invention being defined in the claims.

\Vhat I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. A shipping package container havin a nozzle with a transverse partition provide With a permanently open filling opening at oneside and a permanently open pouring and a removable air tight closure for the nozzle.

2. A shipping package container having .a nozzle With a transverse partition having a filling and pouring opening therein, the filling and pouring opening being permanently open and spaced apart, and a removclosure for thenozzle; Signed by me at Baltimore, Maryland, this 27th day of March, 1926.
